pastry chef

Hi! I’m Liz, a Pastry Chef based in BC's beautiful Okanagan Valley. Originally from the east coast, I've spent most of my career between London and Dubai. I've led several noteworthy pastry and bakery kitchens internationally, and developed concepts, menus & teams for some of the Middle East’s most well-known food brands in my work as a consultant.

I’m passionate about food, and fascinated by kitchen culture. I’m thrilled to be able to bring my skills in teaching, creative development and consulting to Canada’s west coast.

AS A CHEF

Creative development is my favourite way to work with food. I'm constantly working to find new and innovative ways to approach ingredients and methods for practical use. My goal is to help chefs and other hospitality professionals create and develop meaningful, on-brand and contemporary offerings.

I also love to teach, and give both professional and amateur training sessions, workshops and classes.

BOOK A PRIVATE TASTING

Discover the exciting world of single origin chocolate as you taste your way through carefully curated samples of the world's finest bars in your own dedicated space.

Designed to cater to those who find themselves daunted by the often bewildering labels and pricing of bean-to-bar and single-origin chocolate, this casual, interactive workshop offers a unique opportunity for chocolate enthusiasts of all levels.

We’ll start our journey with a warming cup of cacao nib tea before we taste our way through 6 chocolates, from dark to milk. We examine the look & feel, aroma, mouthfeel and taste of each one using a tasting mat and flavour guide. We’ll also delve into a brief history of chocolate making and current challenges facing the industry.

Whether you’re seeking to unravel the complexities of chocolate terminology or are simply a devoted chocolate lover, this experience promises to elevate your chocolate game.
